Hello, pool party season! Hot sunny days and balmy summer nights mean it's high time you learned the ways of bathing suit styling. That's right: Swimsuit outfits are a thing—and it's all about treating your waterproof suit like a shirt. And what a perfect shirt it is.

Take a cue from the stylish ladies above—the possibilities are endless. Bonus? A bathing suit won't bunch like a tight tank or billow like a fussy tucked-in top.

Allow your bandeau to peek out from underneath a button-down shirt, or give a very special wrapped or ruffled one-piece time to shine—paired with everything from denim cutoffs to midlength skirts.
